How nice to be sitting out in the sunshine at the footy. 

As opposed to the freezing night last night 

It wasn’t actually cold at all

    Weid with 2 goals.

    I get that Essendon’s defence is EDFL division 3 standard this afternoon but Geelong’s potency will be a concern at the business end of the year. 64 points half way through the second quarter.

    Live ladder;

    Essendon now out of the 8.

    Good times.

    They're already organising a 10 year reunion for the guys that played in their first six games.

    I may be the odd one out but I’d rather Geelong fall of the face of the earth… as opposed to the Bombers.

    Terrible from the bombers. Cats doing as they please.

    Will be interesting to watch Collingwood and see if it’s a reflection on the short turn around.

    I reckon Weid looks better on the Wing  at Essendon. 
    Didn’t mind him there with us. Less pressure/contest.

    We talk about us needing to capitalise on our list and win multiple flags while we can.... This should be said about Geelong far more than us. There probably hasn't been a better key forward pairing than Hawkins & Cameron in the last 200 years. Throw in all time great/club legends Dangerfield, Stewart, Duncan and a team full of fantastic role players with the best home ground advantage in the league - if they don't win at least 2 before Hawk retires it's a huge failure. 

    Curnow and McKay can be this good too, but they're early-mid 20s and need to prove themselves over the long haul, which both Hawkins and Cameron have already done. 

    As close to a cheat code as you'll ever see at the professional level

    I agree - that combo is quite lethal if age wasn’t a factor  would you prefer a Hawk/ Cameron duo over  centreline?

    How do the Geelong forwards constantly get away with clear and blatant pushing in the back?

    The answer should be obvious really. #integrity

    Zerk is giving away at least 15kg to Hawk

    not even a contest

    this is hilarious. Geelong up by 40 in the first Q can’t put away the bombers off a 5 day break

    Gold Coast are on

    Tigers look horrible 

    early days but still

    Cats definitely going to be very hard to beat.  Scoring power and plenty of options.  Hawkins and Cameron are immense.  
     

    Bombers effective with skills through the inside through the corridor.  Cats defence is elite and (alert to Goody), if you go wide and restrict options, they can shut you down.  Dees skills and one grab footy will be tested.  
     

    Cats, Pies, Lions and Demons are the best 4 in my view.

    Well done to weid. 5 goals.

    Geelong probably should won by more but hey it's another Essendon loss.

    Over to you now Adelaide.

    Oh and go gold coast

    Gee this Tiger Sun game is a poor standard. 

    Chol is a terrible player.

    Dusty Martin ... 'don't argue' ... pushed an opponent in the neck. No free kick ... of course.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
